| wanabe2000: GM Gregory Kaidanov vs IM Irina Krush
1/2-1/2 in round 1. |
 |

|
| wanabe2000: I think that Irina should be disappointed with her performance. Two wins against GM's and two draws against GM's not withstanding, she had a win vs GM Benjamin and lost. Also, a draw in the last round against Lawton was not expected. Without those mishaps it would be a fine tournament. |

| wanabe2000: <Udit Narayan> Thank you for your comment. Let me say that leading up to this tournament there was much criticism having Irina and Anna paticipating. If Irina does not want to be seen as the "token woman" than a 4.5-4.5 score, or better, would have silenced her critics. I'm a fan of her games, and having never met her I can only suppose her happiness or unhappiness with her tournament. I had hoped she would have better results to justify her invitation. |

| HeMateMe: 50% against this field seems like a good score. For one who doesn't have the mens GM title, I think she should be happy. |

She did not score 50%. 3.5 out of 9. See how another IM did against stronger competition:
Aeroflot Open (2009)/Tatiana Kosintseva.
I root for Irina but I would like to see her do better and join the GM elite. |

| HeMateMe: Guess I misread the previous posting. I expect Humpy or Yufan to possibly get the regular GM title and play in both male and female events. |

| Dredge Rivers: So what if she only got 3 1/2 - 5 1/2 at the US Championships! She's still got that hotness thing working for her! |

| Wild Bill: Congratulations to Irina for going to the last round in Edmonton tied for first place. You go, girl!! |

| A.G. Argent: I guess that's what you call having your game face on. I'd resign after 1.e4. Good luck in St. Louis, Ms. K. |

| dumbgai: Hey look, I found one of my old posts from last year. <Jun-12-08 dumbgai: Actually, I'm looking forward to Anna Zatonskih coming back next year and destroying Irina Krush in their individual game to shut her up once and for all. That's assuming they'll both participate and get matched up against each other, which is quite likely.> Oh, snap... |

Can you send over the ones of her doing yoga at the reccent womens championship in st. Louis? Those are quite nice. |

| HolyKnight: I don't think Krush looks cute at all. I guess to each his own. |

| HeMateMe: I think her recent set of photos of her trip throughout the Orient are excellent. She's a breath of fresh air. |

| Petrosianic: She may be, but that cliche sure isn't. Are you saying she's like something you take thousands of times a day without paying it the slightest notice? |
|
| Oct-30-09 |
| Shams: <HolyKnight> if you don't think someone is cute, how about saying nothing? Krush very likely reads this page from time to time. I think she has a nice smile, personally. |

| HeMateMe: <Petrosianic:> It's nice to see chess players who are a bit 'different', not cut from the same mold. Such people stand out, even if they aren't necessarily the top players. I guess one could note that Karpov collects stamps, and Smyslov is a big fan of opera, but its just not the same... |

| Moonstone: If she's not cute, who else!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Irina is not cute but,
cute, cute, cute, cute, cute, cute, cute, cute, cute, cute, cute, cute,
cute,cute,... |

| HeMateMe: I read that in a Chess Life article 20 years ago. I don't know if it is his life's calling. I think he also has a degree in economics from a University, somewhere in Moscow. You would think such people would have to work 10 hours a day just to keep up with opening theory, but I guess its healthy to develop outside interests. |

| HeMateMe: <Billy Vaughan> Nice photos dude, tx. The yoga photos are nice, she's definitely an advert for the yoga schools. However, i don't think she'll be drafted onto India's national cricket team. (Wish she would lose the glasses.) Say hi to your brother, Stevie Ray, for me. |
